I think new media criticism is much more visible than it used to be. Some selected snippets below. Not always about new media, but very useful for an overall picture of the 'mediascape' and some radical socio-economic tracts: http://www.ctheory.com Also, this may be stating the obvious, but the nettime publication 'README!' was an early stab at new media critique and praxis. Lots of 'hacktivism' in there too, but some still relevant discussions on new media, net art, 'net.art', and their respective contexts. Available from V2 or Autonomedia. Or check out the online archive: http://www.nettime.org Also, had to get a plug in somewhere! I wrote an article for COIL magazine a couple of years ago which looks at parallels between web art practice and video art: http://www.cryptic.demon.co.uk/cj_home/analog.html I argue that the specific technologies and contexts may have changed, but the tactics and modes of address employed by artists are not so different.
